New Cruise to Retrace Pan Am Clipper’s Route in the Caribbean and Latin America

Cruise line Holland America and Pan American World Airways are teaming up to offer a cruise that retraces the original flying Clipper routes.

Passengers disembark from Pan Am’s clipper after its historic first transatlantic flight, from Port Washington near New York City to Lisbon on June 28-29, 1939. The luxurious Boeing 314 flying boat completed the trip in 24 hours, 15 minutes with a refueling stop in the Azores. It continued from Lisbon to Marseilles. Miami Herald File/TNS
